LittleLolaGT 0 Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Hi everyone...newbie here! Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Cari, live in NJ, and just began the process to getting Lap Band surgery. I've got 5 months to go before it can happen and I am thrilled and nervous about this whole thing. Has anyone on here used Dr. Goyal? My general doctor referred me to him and I've met with him just once. I've done loads of research on him and he seems to be a great doctor. I'm wishing everyone out there great success on their journeys!!:smile: Edited September 1, 2008 by LittleLolaGT didn't finish title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaculin412 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Hi Cari, Welcome!!! So where in Jersey are you? I'm in monmouth county myself. I'm in the middle of my 6 month monitoring by my PCP, November is month 6 and my surgery is scheduled for November 24th. My surgeon is Dr. Borao @ Monmouth Medical Center. Good luck with everything, it's an exciting yet nerve wracking process..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
